Aktakom AMM-1008, User Manual

not connected to a device, the display may show a random, 

changing reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input 

sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement 

when connected to a circuit. 

DATA HOLD BUTTON 

The Data Hold function allows the meter to "freeze" a measurement 

for later reference.

1. Press the DATA HOLD button to “freeze” the reading on the 

indicator. The indicators “HOLD” will be appear in the display. 

2. Press the DATA HOLD button to return to normal operation. 

BACK LIGHT BUTTON

The 

BACK LIGHT BUTTON

 is used to turn    the back light on Only. To 

extend the battery life, The back light will be turned off  automatically 

within around 3 seconds

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 

CAUTION: 

 Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the 

circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may 

occur that can damage the meter. 

1. 

Set the function switch to the V DC position (“mV” will appear in 

the display). 

2.  Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) 

jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack. 

3.  Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Be sure to 

observe the correct polarity (red lead to positive, black lead to 

negative). 

4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the 

proper decimal point and value. If the polarity is reversed, the 

display will show (-) minus before the value. 

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: 

  Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be 

long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets 

for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the 

outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet 

actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching 

the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no 

voltage is present. 

CAUTION: 

 Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the 

circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may 

occur that can damage the meter. 

1. Set the function switch to the V AC position. 
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative 

(COM) jack and the red test lead banana plug into the 
positive (V) jack. 

3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. 
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate 

the proper decimal point, value and symbol (AC, V, etc.).
